Trust Sourav Ganguly to tell it like it is. Earlier this week, he decided to send a letter (a copy of which seamlessly made its way into the inboxes of some cricket reporters) to the acting president CK Khanna, secretary Amitabh Choudhary and treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to express his anguish over the way things were run by the Committee of Administrators (CoA).

The Supreme Court-appointed CoA has not been welcomed by the state associations (Ganguly heads the Cricket Association of Bengal). For, it has virtually entered their area of dwelling and dictated how to run their house. Why did this happen in the first place? It's because the BCCI didn't run the game in the most transparent way and once the matter reached the Supreme Court, there was always going to be a situation where non-seasoned administrators would call the shots, however unfair it sounded to the tireless administrators who dedicated their lives for the sport.
